Useful map program that shows lot and consession for all ontario -- free

[Woody]

I found a useful website that shows lots and consessions, for all of Ontario.  It was developed to show mining claims, but works well for locating property.

site:
http://www.mndm.gov.on.ca/mndm/mines/lands/claimap3/default_e.asp

if the link doesn't work, google:  Ontario Mining Claim Map.

The website is not the easiest to use, but it works.

Happy property hunting,
Woody

I have been trying to get claimaps to work but with no success. I have pushed every button. There is a great map site for simcoe county that shows individual lots and addresses superimposed on a satelite photo. I can see my neighbours cottages.

I'm not sure why it isn't working for you, it works for me, and I've tried at various computers.  Often it takes a second to refresh. 

Forgive me for covering the obvious, but just in case.....

Cut and paste the address on the original thread into your browser.

Click on "Map Search"

Scroll down click "Yes" to accept the terms/conditions.

On the top of the viewer, change the "Search by:" drop down menu to Township.

Enter the name of the township into the search criteria (note has to be township, not municipality, town, city, etc).



Assuming the viewer starts to load the map, give it time, its a government program ie. slow and painfull, and it often doesn't work.   For me what typically happens it that the viewer will say refreshing data.... then after a period of time it stops, but shows the old picture.  If this happens, I click on the drag tool (hand on left hand vertical menu), once the drag tool is selected, I click on the map, and move the mouse slightly.  Sometimes this works to show the image.

Hope this helps.

Oh ya, if it doesn't pick up the township, but you know the general area, use the zoom tool to highlite the area, this should zoom the map in close enough for you to then, zoom on the township, etc.
